Working in Welling

In Welling we cover DA6, DA15 and DA16; we also cover Bexley, 2.3 miles away, and Eltham.

In Welling, many bathrooms are in flats or converted houses, so we check lease consents, access and the floor below before we price. If your Welling bathroom has a bath that nobody uses, a walk-in shower in the same space is often a two or three day job. If you are planning ahead in Welling for easier access, a low-profile walk-in tray gives most of the benefit without a full wet room.

Most of Greater London has very hard water. If your supply in Welling is the same, limescale on shower glass and heads is a real issue: easy-clean glass, rub-clean nozzles and a squeegee make a big difference. Hardness varies street by street, so check the figure for your postcode with your water supplier.

What the job includes

Wall tiling, with an optional recessed niche
Removal of the old bath or enclosure and making good to the walls and floor
Tanking to the shower walls, and to the floor where it is tiled
Silicone, a full-flow test for leaks and spray, and handover

Decisions to make first

Valve

An exposed bar valve with a riser rail is easy to fit and service. A concealed valve hides the pipework and suits a fixed overhead head.

Glass thickness

8 mm toughened glass is standard; 10 mm feels heavier and more solid. An easy-clean coating keeps limescale off clear glass in hard-water areas.

Rules that apply in England

In England, moving or adding lights, a fan or a shower circuit in a room with a bath or shower is notifiable under Part P. A tiled level floor that needs a new drain connection at the soil stack can bring in Part H.

Is the water hard in Welling?

How big does a walk-in shower need to be?

A walk-in shower with no door works well at 1400 mm long or more, with the glass panel covering most of that length. At 1200 by 800 mm it is still usable, but spray is more likely to escape the open end. A width of 800 to 900 mm is enough for most people.
